Course Overview
The Brownfield Coalition of the Northeast (BCONE) is co-hosting this course with the Rutgers Office of Continuing Professional Education.
Attorneys and LSRPs will walk away from this course with better understandings of their roles under federal remediation law and NJ’s legal framework, which is so much more than the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA).
This class is “Team” taught by NJ’s top environmental attorneys, LSRPs, and regulators so that all parties understand the perspectives, roles, and responsibilities of the other project members. Major case law decisions and site remediation case studies will be presented to demonstrate the different roles and viewpoints of all members of the Team. A client’s perspective also will be included.
Each featured topic listed below begins with a lightning-round overview of the important statutes, regulations, and case law as it relates to the subject area so that all discussions have context. Following each overview, Teams will present their coordinated real-world perspectives on the operation of the law in question from a permitting, enforcement, and litigation point of view as it relates to attorneys, LSRPs, and their remediation projects.
Featured Topics
- Environmental Due Diligence: How Much Diligence is Due?
- Dispute Resolution

“Good regulatory update. The Environmental Justice program details were all new to me and I plan to look into that further. I enjoyed learning about this area and both Zach and Myla had interesting information and were good to listen to. I thought Myla did a fantastic job presenting.”
